Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has issued a challenge to former President John Mahama for a two-person debate ahead of the December 7, 2024, general election.
Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the Communications Director for the Bawumia campaign team, emphasized in a statement that such a debate would allow Ghanaians to choose their next leader after President Akufo-Addo.
Aboagye highlighted that the debate would center on the achievements of both candidates and their proposed solutions to address the current economic challenges facing the country.
He further noted that the debate would help voters differentiate between the two candidates, particularly regarding their governance track records and approaches to addressing national issues.
“The big issue for 2024 comes down to the two personalities. Which of the two main candidates will Ghanaians want as their next leader after 2024? The one who was given his chance and blew it through his incompetence or the one who has shown what he can do even as a Vice President and is now asking to also be given the opportunity to show what he can do as President? We are daring the main opposition Party to come to a debate on the two personalities.”
“Dr. Bawumia’s Campaign invites the Ghanaian voter to focus on the credibility and weight of the policies of each of the two foremost presidential candidates – Bawumia and Mahama. In the next few months, the Bawumia campaign will humbly but decisively address all major issues facing our nation and how, with the current positive turnaround, he intends to consolidate the gains and tackle the outstanding issues head-on if given the mandate in December,” an excerpt of the statement said.
Dr. Bawumia is scheduled to kick off his political campaign today, Monday, April 29, in preparation for the December general elections. Beginning in the Eastern Region, the campaign will cover all 16 regions over the next month.
During his tour, Dr. Bawumia plans to interact with a wide range of stakeholders, including traditional leaders, clergy, youth groups, traders, drivers, farmers, students, and business owners.
The campaign will focus on engaging citizens from various sectors of society, with visits to marketplaces aimed at interacting with both traders and consumers.
